Rice and Rice Straw
Rice and Rice Straw: Production, Cultivation and Uses opens with a discussion on rice straw, a substance rich in polysaccharides with a high lignin and silica content, limiting voluntary intake and reducing degradability by rumen microbes. The authors suggest that the treatment of rice straw could be a good potential feed for ruminants. Next, the authors revise the fractionation processes used for the recovery of hemicelluloses from rice straw, subsequently providing a critical appraisal of the potential products that can be derived from it, and what conversion and purification processes are necessary for their production. Additionally, the current and potential industrial status of these pr...
The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth
This is the book on all of Tolkien's invented languages, spoken by hobbits, elves, and men of Middle-earth -- a dicitonary of fourteen languages, an English-Elvish glossary, all the runes and alphabets, and material on Tolkien the linguist.
Lord Demon
The final masterpiece by the late and legendary Roger Zelazny, written in collaboration with acclaimed author Jane Lindskold. A once-legendary warrior, made soft by a thousand years of peace, seeks vengeance for the murder of a devoted human servant. He must preserve the demon race and the Demon Realms--an impossible task unless he can regain that which made him extraordinary.
Acetone
In this collection, the authors develop a mathematical model of kinetics adsorption in solid microporous mediums. This approach allows for the introduction of two new terms in Ficks law: The first term characterizes the direct adsorption, represented by random function and dependent on the average speed but not on speed itself. The second characterizes the fluctuation of adsorbed quantity and heat dissipation, phenomena which are at the origin of irreversibility adsorption and desorption. Next, residual enzyme activity was investigated to monitor stabilization/destabilization of hen egg-white lysozyme at low, intermediate, and high water content in acetone at 25 oC. The results demonstrate t...
Recent Advances in Mitocondrial Medicine and Coenzyme Q10
Recent Advances in Mitochondrial Medicine and Coenzyme Q10 (eds. Anna Gvozdjáková, Germaine Cornélissen, Ram B Singh) is an updated version of a book Mitochondrial Medicine (ed. A. Gvozdjáková) published by Springer, The Netherlands, in 2008. International contributors and world specialists in Mitochondrial Medicine and Coenzyme Q10 provide up-to-date knowledge in mitochondrial physiology, and review the role played by mitochondria in relation to diseases, diagnosies and therapies pertinent to various fields of medicine. This monograph covers topics related to mitochondrial physiology, mitochondrial sirtuins, supercomplexes, chronobiology, epigenetics, genetics, neurology, cardiology, n...
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10: Uses, Health Effects and Role in Disease reviews the current knowledge and evidence of the potential clinical applications of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 is a lipophilic molecule composed by a bezonquinone ring conjugated to a ten-carbon isoprenoid side chain. It exists in two molecular forms, ubiquinone and ubiquinol, which are the basis for its antioxidant properties. CoQ10 also plays an essential role in cellular metabolism to produce ATP, which provides energy for muscle contraction and other vital cellular functions. Most of the ATP production occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where coenzyme Q is found. The authors review the protective effects of CoQ10 on intense physical exercise, reducing muscle damage and improving physical performance. Evidence of secondary CoQ10 deficiency in disease and in pharmacotherapy is discussed, highlighting putative mechanisms to account for this deficit together with examples of therapeutic intervention. Secondary CoQ10 deficiencies are important to identify as clinical benefit can be elicited following treatment with CoQ10 or its associated analogues.

Nannochloropsis
This book opens with a review suggesting that transgenic Nannochloropsis microalgae have a broad spectrum of applications in marine and plant biotechnology and that have the propensity to be a source of raw material for a wide range of industries. The authors express this while going on to present an overview of the future uses of this genus in the context of genetic improvement for new biotechnological applications. The provision of nitrogen from different sources is presented as a strategy used to modify the biomass composition. Nitrate is the ideal nitrogen source and gives the highest biomass concentration and specific growth rate when compared with urea and ammonium. Additionally, moder...
Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM)
Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) is a major factor controlling global biogeochemical cycles of carbon, macro- and micronutrients and toxic metals. It plays a pivotal role both in mobilisation (chemical weathering), transport (organic complexes and colloids), biological uptake and deposition (microbial and photo-degradation) of a number of essential macro- (C, N, P) and micro- (Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cu Co) nutrients. The interest of scientists to DOM is rapidly increasing. Between 1950 and 2017, more than 30,000 scientific papers on DOM were published (Web of Science® All Database Search); however, more than half of them were produced over the past nine years and over the last two and a half years, ...
Noise Reduction
In Noise Reduction: Methods, Applications and Technology, the authors open with an overview of image denoising approaches. The review covers additive and multiplicative noise reduction methods in the spatial, frequency and wavelet domains, as well as their applications. Finally, experimental qualitative and quantitative evaluations on synthetic and real images corrupted by noise of different distributions are presented and discussed. Then next chapter begins with introduction to multiple camera systems: their usage, structure, hardware and applications. Some examples of existing systems are be presented along with quantitative comparison of parameters like: sensor resolution, technology, fra...
